Rose City Astronomers has several programs for members to explore and discuss specific interests in astronomy.
Whether you're a beginner, intermediate or advanced astro-imager — whether you're using a CCD, DSLR, point-and-shoot or film camera — this group can help you achieve better images with less effort and frustrations.
You can help save our stars! We are losing the dark of night at the speed of light. Light pollution is excessive or inappropriate outdoor lighting. Light pollution hinders astronomy, wastes money, harms wildlife, threatens human health and safety, and robs us of our cultural heritage of a starry sky.
Downtowners is a monthly lunch date (at a reasonable cost) with your astronomical friends who work in or near enough to downtown and who need a little astronomical boost between RCA meetings. Join us on first Fridays of every month, at noon, for good conversation and good food. Everyone is welcome!
If you need help with a telescope project, need to clean or align your optics, or just want to talk about telescopes, visit the on-line workshop. Subjects include telescope building from scratch or a kit, telescope setup, cleaning, aligning, adjustment, and help using your telescope.
We are now transitioning to in-person meetings rather than Zoom meetings. They will occur every month from 10 AM – 2 PM, usually on the Saturday closest to the full moon. You will be informed via the forums or club email when the next workshop is happening. You can also find it on the club calendar.
